Rodrigues Sends Martel Out
Level 23
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Benjamin Martel opened to 25,000 from the hijack and was called by David Kazlov in the small blind and Michael Rodrigues in the big blind.
Action checked to Martel on the K♣2♠4♥ flop and he announced he was all in for 82,000 total. Kazlov folded, but Rodrigues asked for a count before deciding to call and put Martel at risk.
Benjamin Martel: A♣A♥K♦5♥
Michael Rodrigues: J♣6♦5♠4♦
Martel was ahead, but the 3♥ turn filled Rodrigues' six-high straight draw to vault him into the lead.
The 7♦ river whiffed Martel's flush draw and he was eliminated late in the evening.
Kazlov was also eliminated shortly after the hand.
